A softball response to the internal question: “What if they learn we were in on it?”
The point is that they were in on it. They just didn’t care, thinking the Cheeky Hildabeast would have won.
Exactly what I keep ranting...the FISA court knew all along that the warrant applications were baseless, but they just knew Trump would never be elected and that the court was immune after he was sworn in.
Plus, having a gutless nobody, chief justice Roberts, overseeing the court, it was certain that nothing would happen.
